5 Known issues Known issues Known issues, release ID Description Status ZEN When Cisco UCS Performance Manager is newly-installed, users may see expressions rather than results in the Message and Summary fields of UCS devices. As data is collected, the expressions are replaced with results. ZEN Unable to search for a particular model of a component from top-level search. ZEN For Windows servers, OS manufacturer shows 'unknown', hardware manufacturer shows 'Microsoft'. ZEN For Windows servers installed on a blade, processor descriptions all 'uknown'. ZEN Need to change the property manually for 'cpu command timeout' issues when monitoring the Cisco UCS Performance Manager Linux server (the virtual machine itself). ZEN Icons for Linux servers is incorrect and not consistent in some places. ZEN Icons in physical and logical storage view of EMC storage device are incorrect. ZEN Icons of individual network devices in dynamic view are incorrect. ZEN ZEN ZEN ZEN ZEN ZEN ZEN Physical Storage view for a NetApp filer in OnTap mode no longer shows disk drives within each aggregate. Chassis graph for UCS Mini domains not showing up in topology view (mini domains are not supported). Event info discrepancy between topology view and UCS domain view in the dashboard topology. No critical event in the left pane. Many critical icons in the topology view on the right. To display working links in the Dynamic View of a Hyper-V device, the Windows machine hosting the Hyper-V service must be added as an IP address, not a hostname. Ascending and descending column sorting in table views works correctly, except in columns containing hostname or IP address values. The NetApp monitor may receive an XML response from a Filer that is larger than its receive buffer, causing inaccurate modeling or data collection. In the Add Infrastructure wizard, the protocol shown for NetApp Filer C-Mode and 7-Mode devices is SSH, and should be ZAPI. 5

6 Limitations To analyze Cisco UCS domains, use the Cisco UCS Capacity Reports and Cisco UCS Report menus in the REPORTS area. The Enterprise Reports and Performance Reports menus do not provide relevant information. Many of the graphs for components types of EMC arrays display NaN when statistics logging is disabled on the EMC device. The logging feature has a low default timeout value, and must be set to a higher value or turned on again periodically. (ZEN-14695) The Setup Wizard times out after 20 minutes. If your session exceeds the timeout period, you will see an error message when you click Finish. To start the Setup Wizard again, close the browser window or tab, and log in again. (ZEN-14843) 6
